The image shows a person lying down in a coffin-like structure. The individual has a calm expression with stylized features such as a pronounced chin, small lips, and large arched eyebrows. Their hair is styled in a neat bun. They are wearing a long-sleeved top with ribbing details and shorts with striped garter-like attachments and arrow motifs. The person is depicted wearing high heel-like shoes and their hands are clasped over their midsection. The background is filled with dense, textured shading, contrasting with the white structure holding the figure.
